In May and June 2019, the Aistriú project launched a public call for commission - inviting artists of all genres to submit their proposal for new artwork in response to the Aistriú texts. The call for commission coincided with a workshop at NUI Galway that introduced interested applicants to the texts, and explained the application and selection process.

The winning artists were chosen by a judging panel in July 2019 and will be announced at the official Galway 2020 programme launch in September 2019!
